LAUMC raises funds with Alzheimer’s walk

A team from Los Altos United Methodist Church is scheduled to participate in the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s 9:30 a.m. to noon Sept. 21 in San Francisco.

The team’s goal is to raise $100,000 to advance research to treat and prevent Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and provide programs to improve the lives of millions of affected Americans.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 5.2 million Americans of all ages suffer from Alzheimer’s. Among the top 10 causes of death in the U.S., Alzheimer’s is the only disease without a way to prevent, cure or slow its progression.

Meditation group meets at Foothills Congregational

Each session will include the context and instruction in a meditation practice for that week, ample time for practice and opportunities to share with and learn from group participants as they integrate the practice in their daily lives.

Admission is free and open to all, including both new and experienced meditators.
